Default Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?

Well, it's certainly not my "baby". I guess I'm just a relic from the old days when a ladder meant you could challenge either the person directly above you or the one above that one. The idea was to gain a rung on the ladder. Or two rungs.

So, I'd be curious to know what kind of ladder system would allow more than one game at a time? And if a person wins, don't they usually take the place of the person they beat? So, what would be the point of playing more than one person at a time when the game that REALLY counts would be the person you are playing that is highest on the ladder?

Of course, maybe ladder has changed its whole meaning from what I have known a "ladder system" to be for the Last 30 years...
